The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration released the March 2012 National Overview report on April 10, confirming that March was more than just a month of scattered warmth – it shattered records across the U.S., becoming the only month ever recorded, except for January 2006, that had surpassed its record by such a large margin.
According to NOAA, the average temperature across the U.S. was 8.6 degrees above the 20th century average.
However, the report did not just reveal that certain parts of the US had unreasonable warmth; no region was exempt from the weather anomalies.
Every state in the nation experienced at least one record warm day daily temperature in March, totally 15, 272 warm temperature records broken.

The move will help fund additional work on the plan that was set to break ground this summer.
